# CrossDesk #### Bridging work, uniting efficiency ---- [中文](README_CN.md) / [English](README.md) ![sup_example](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3f17d8f3-7c4a-4b63-bae4-903363628687) # Intro CrossDesk is a lightweight cross-platform remote desktop software. CrossDesk is an experimental application of [MiniRTC](https://github.com/kunkundi/minirtc.git), a lightweight cross-platform real-time audio and video transmission library. MiniRTC provides fundamental capabilities including network traversal ([RFC5245](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5245)), video software/hardware encoding and decoding (H264/AV1), audio encoding/decoding ([Opus](https://github.com/xiph/opus)), signaling interaction, network congestion control ([TCP over UDP](https://libnice.freedesktop.org/)), and transmission encryption ([SRTP](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3711)). ## Usage Enter the remote desktop ID in the menu bar’s “Remote ID” field and click “→” to initiate a remote connection. ![usage1](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f04e9b6f-42ac-40a7-a0ff-9a8d32f1d0be) If the remote desktop requires a connection password, you must enter the correct password on your side to successfully establish the connection. ![password](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a764f748-d5e0-4335-8e1f-ab2b948248c4) Before connecting, you can customize configuration options in the settings, such as language and video encoding format. ![settings](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/48dfcab5-09a8-40d1-a0e9-4321e9535849) ## How to build Requirements: - [xmake](https://xmake.io/#/guide/installation) - [cmake](https://cmake.org/download/) Following packages need to be installed on Linux: ``` sudo apt-get install -y software-properties-common git curl unzip build-essential libx11-dev libxrandr-dev libxinerama-dev libxcursor-dev libxi-dev libxcb-randr0-dev libxcb-xtest0-dev libxcb-xinerama0-dev libxcb-shape0-dev libxcb-xkb-dev libxcb-xfixes0-dev libxv-dev libxtst-dev libasound2-dev libsndio-dev libxcb-shm0-dev libasound2-dev libpulse-dev ``` Build: ``` git clone https://github.com/kunkundi/crossdesk.git cd crossdesk git submodule init git submodule update xmake b crossdesk ``` Run: ``` xmake r crossdesk ``` ## LICENSE CrossDesk is licenced under MIT, and some third-party libraries are distributed under their licenses.
